No crank

Check the circuit you connected the fan to. They draw quite a bit of current, it is very possible that the circuit you connected the fan to could not handle the load and burned out. Look for burnt fusible links or other visible damage.

2003 Focus that has been running very rough at startup, usually around 5 seconds, then seems to idle fine. Now it will not start, but turns over fine. If a turn on the key for a few seconds, then start it, it will run for maybe 2 seconds and die. Any suggestions?

trye resetting yoru anti theft unit on car first. if still not starting then check fuel pressurea nd scan for codes

my 2001 ford focus wagon SE won't turn over. I have power, battery seems fine but it won't turn over, no clicking or other noises. Happened yesterday morning (20 below temperature) as well, it started but when I shut it off and tried a minute later I got nothing. I disconnected the battery and let it sit for a 30 minutes to see if it would reset some car theft security thing or something and then it started. Last night I moved the car into the driveway and when I tried an hour later it had the same problem and this morning it still doesn't start. Any suggestions?

I have ran into this same situation on a focus coupe found corrosion under the 100 amp fuse in the underhood fuse panel.

Could be the starter, starter relay,transmission position switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good.

Engine problem
2001 Ford Focus Engine Size unknown Two Wheel Drive Automatic 147400 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I recently purchased my first car, Ford Focus LX 147,000 miles, first couple of weeks did not have any problems but after my dealership put transmission bolts in and switched out a fuse in my panel, my car started turning over but not cranking. It will finally start after about 4-5 tries (sometimes it starts right away), but sometimes it sputters after it cranks up like it is ready to turn off. I can hear (if that makes sense) the fuel pump come on, and my mother's boyfriend believes it needs a new fuel filter, but I am unsure of what it could be. Any ideas?

With this many miles it leave me wondering if its time for a tune up
Check the car for a tune up first


good luck

Electrical problem
2001 Ford Focus 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive

car wont turn over batterty fine just dings

If its not a security issue could be one of the following starter, starter relay, transmission range switch and ignition switch

My car won't crank, lights and horn are strong, tried jumping it with no luck. Having had any problems with it cranking. Had to push it and use the clutch in order for it to crank. Any suggestions?

It sounds like it is the starter that has gone bad, here is a guide to help you test and replace it.

I have no problems with my 2001 Ford focus starting in the winter but soon as warm/ hot weather hits same thing. It will start when engine is cooled off,but not after been drove and engine hot.

Hello,

It sounds like the same problem, the starter has gone bad. Too find out for sure test the starter trigger wire when the car is warm and the starter is not working.

Hi. The car stalled while I was turning. Now it wont even start. I checked the fuel pump & filter and they both seem fine. I changed the spark plugs & wires. Checked the battery...it's good. What could possibly be wrong with my car??? Please help!

Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation and selecting us as your auto repair site. Feel free to ask questions at anytime-


Do you have a check engine light On or flashing prior to this problem?

If the engine's condition is in tip top shape-do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem that's if its cranking over and refuses to start

Fuel and Spark:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 in away from ground have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,cap and rotor /distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, ECM,Ignitor camshaft and crankshaft sensors and computer. Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Compression:

If both correct fuel pressure and snapping blue spark is present-check engine compression could be a valve and ignition timing, issue -this will lead you to problems with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time/broken or jumped timing belt/chain

I replaced the timing belt and worked on the back window, becuase it had came of track. Now the car engine will not turn to start. My question is, is there a button I can push to reset the antitheft system. The alarm light stops blinking when the key is inserted and turned. IF no button, what could be the problem?

LOCK AND UNLOCK THE DOOR USING THE KEY

CHECK FUSES
CHECK starter wires
check clutch position switch on top of the clutch

Crankshaft "BINDS" (engine turns over slow) when i tighten the pulley hub bolt.

explain what you are repairing and why

include any nomenclature of your rig and the engine size

pics would be nice too!
